Storm Water Resources
2025 Annual Water Quality Report - North Platte
More information about North Platte’s Storm Water can be found here.
Stormwater from our community is transferred directly from our inlets and ditches to our lakes, streams, and rivers. Stormwater effectively accumulates and transfers pollutants. Many of these pollutants are efficiently stopped by following preventive measures and avoiding these sources of stormwater pollution:
Changing motor oil on impervious driveways
Improperly disposing leftover paint and household chemicals and lawn chemicals
Leaking trash containers
Littering
Operating vehicles that leak fluids
Pet waste
Washing cars on pavement
Dumping of restaurant waste including food, wastewater or oil/grease.
Citizen cooperation is necessary to ensure that the City of North Platte is doing its part to comply with EPA mandated requirements.
It is imperative that illicit discharges be detected, reported and corrected as early as possible. If you see or suspect illegal dumping or illicit discharges into the City's drainage system, please call the Public Service at 308-535-2457 or City Engineering at 308-535-6724. Also, you can email the City of North Platte. Please put "Urgent" in subject line. If possible, tell the employee what is being dumped, the time of day, the location of the illicit dumping and (if applicable) a license plate of the vehicle or trailer involved.
